Screencasting Presentation 2 (O2)

Pick at least three related items on the "120 Years of Electric Instruments" website and describe important movements and processes that have affected technology and culture in the USA or a country of your choice.

Trigger Alert! Despite the wealth of wonderful materials, the Website "120 Years of Electric Instruments" contains some materials that are objectionable and not supported by TU policy or this professor.

For instance, students are warned not to view "1935: Marimbalite" due to its racially offensive materials.

Students are requested to email Dr. Ewell with information on other offensive materials on this website so that it can be placed on this Trigger Alert list.
